I like the trade, but I'd be after Scola (5 mill). Possibly throw in Joseph, Richards and another 2nd round draft pick. I'd be accepting to the idea of Jermaine though, where are going to need another big at the end. We have all the guards and small forwards to compete for a championship, but we need another big though.

Scola has more upside at this point of his career than O'Neal. they probably would give O'Neal up but would find a better offer than we could ever give, even at a draft pick b/c of how good the team is playing

Joseph may be attractive, Richards is a non factor though. the way he's conducted himself overseas and how he treats the teams that employ him by quitting, he's too toxic to for any other team to consider.
